Cape Town’s love affair with jazz goes into overdrive this week with the annual Cape Town International Jazz Festival.
While music lovers are gearing up to see top notch artists hit the various stages for the main event this coming weekend, another highlight is the free community concert at Greenmarket Square. "The free concert is an opportunity for those who could not get a ticket for the festival to enjoy access to some of the best local and international artists on one stage. I would also like to welcome the thousands of festival-goers and performers who are making their way to our beautiful city this week. Cape Town welcomes you with open arms and we hope that the experience will live in your memories long after the last notes fade.
"The City is proud to host the Cape Town International Jazz Festival which has become an important part of the Cape Town brand for the last two decades," said Mayor Dan Plato.
